A/N: As promised, here is the next chapter.

Reunion & Revelation

"Man, I can't believe they actually let us go early today from class!" Erasa exclaimed, throwing her hands in the air as she and her three friends walked from school.

"And we also have the rest of tomorrow off too!" Sharpner added, also thrilled.

The same couldn't be said for Videl, who looked less than thrilled. "Yeah, for a stupid tournament that my father specifically set up just to remain champion."

"Come on Videl, it probably won't come to that. I'm sure there is someone who can beat your dad…" Gohan stated, his arms folded behind his head.

The daughter of the champ gave him a pleading look, which the half Saiyan saw through his peripheral vision.

"Videl…you know we can't…" Gohan said with an unease smile. "Bulma's fame already puts our secrets at risk, so imagine what would happen if one of us becomes champion. I know years back, Master Roshi, Tien, and even dad were champion, but then there weren't all these forms of social media."

Videl sighed. "I know, I just wish one of you would knock him off his pedestal."

Gohan nodded understandingly.

"But hey, knowing the gang, I bet when they get wind of this, they will still want to enter it too for fun anyways!"

"Yeah, then throw the match when they face my father." Videl huffed, crossing her arms.

"Why don't you kick his ass off that pedestal?" Sharpner suggested, eying the champ's daughter.

"Me?"

"That is a great idea Sharpy!" Erasa said, wearing an eager grin. "Who better than his own daughter, right?"

"The media will follow me too then and that, in turn, would lead them to you."

"You're already famous." Sharpner pointed out.

Videl tilted her head thoughtfully. "Well…I'll think about-"

Both Gohan and Videl abruptly stopped, almost breaking their necks when they felt a familiar ki.

Noticing this, the two blondes exchanged glanced.

"What's up, guys?" Sharpner asked them.

"It's…it's my father…" Gohan said, his eyes wide.

Videl blinked, obviously confused. "That huge ki signature is coming from your dad? But how? He's supposed to be dead, right?"

Gohan nodded. "He is!" He then smiled happily. "It's coming from where I spent most of my childhood!"

Leaping into the sky, he took off, ignoring all the cries from his friends telling him to wait.

While Videl didn't hesitate to follow, she at least waved at her friends, stating that she'll catch up with them later.

As Gohan flew as fast as he could, he slowed down when he felt that Videl was trying close in on him.

"Videl?"

"I'm not letting you out of my sight today Gohan." She said, holding back a blush at the smile he was suddenly giving her.

"Let's head towards my mom first." He said, grinning. "I know she gonna love seeing him again."

Vegeta froze, quickly stopping his training exercise in the Gravity Room. "What the…Kakarot?"

He ran out of the room and stopped, as he had nearly bumped into Bulma, who had been running also.

"There was a sudden burst of ki that came out of nowhere! It's so powerful, that it caused some of my electronics to burst!" She said to the Saiyan Prince. "Could it be Bra? Maybe she got her full power back!"

Vegeta shook his head. "I've been monitoring Bra and while it appears that she has gotten her power back, that surge of ki did not come from her. It came from Kakarot somehow."

Bulma took a step back in surprise. "Goku?"

The Prince grinned, making a path to the entrance. "I can't wait to test his strength and prove once and for all, who's the strongest Saiyan!" he said, shooting into the air the moment he was outside.

Trunks and Kibō, who stopped sparring the instant they felt that massive ki, watched the full Saiyan flying off in a hurry.

"Do you feel that ki Kibō?"

His nephew nodded, his eyes sparkling with awe. "Yeah, it super big! I wonder who's it coming from?!"

Feeling a hand on his hair, the three-fourth Saiyan turned to come face to face with his crouching aunt; she was wearing a grin, which caused the boy to look at her curiously.

"What's wrong aunty?"

"Kiddo, want to go meet your dad?"

The poor boy stumbled back, almost falling off his feet. "My da-dad?"

Signing with content Krillin nuzzled his bald head back against his comfortable spot, which happened to be Eighteen's chest. They were both watching a Superhero film that was airing on TV, called Night-Spider-Monkey. It's about a teenage boy who had been kidnapped to be experimented on with monkey and spider DNA for reason's the couple didn't care much about as they were both falling asleep.

Their chosen careers have kept them apart for long periods of time so when they get days off, sometimes, they stay in instead of going out, watching TV until they fall asleep; they like to call it their lazy days.

Years back, Krillin and Eighteen had decided that they didn't want to live with Roshi, instead wanting to find a place of their own. No offense to the old martial artist, but Eighteen couldn't stand to be in the same house as him any longer. His perverted shenanigans had crossed so many lines, that Krillin had been astonished that his wife (yes, they got married) hadn't killed the old man, but then again, she had successfully completed the anger management courses. Krillin however, while not having anger issues, still nearly murdered him when he once caught his old mentor spying on her as she took a shower. The day he 'accidentally' walked in on the couple having sex was the last strew

Luckily, by that point, both Krillin and Eighteen had graduated from college; the former monk becoming a Police Officer and the Android becoming a fashion designer. It didn't take them long to make more than enough money to buy a house at West City so that they could finally get the hell off of that island.

After they moved and settled in, the Android worked extra hard, as she had been determined to pay back all the money Bulma had given her for those anger management classes. Of course, she knew that it was silly, since Bulma was like the richest person in the world, but still…it was just a matter of principle for her. She would always feel like she owed her something and in order to remove those feelings, she only had to return the money and then she'd be free; and she did.

So here they were, being lazy when-

"Mommy? Daddy?"

The couple watched as a little girl walked in front of them. She had chestnut hair that was tied in pigtails and wore a small red dress, with matching red shoes. In her hands, she tightly held a brown teddy bear.

"What is it, sweetheart?" Eighteen asked warmly.

"I'm bored." She said.

Krillin laughed, patting the spot between his wife and him. "Come and watch TV with us."

"Okay." She said, wedging herself in place.

Then they felt it too.

Krillin sat up quickly and so did Eighteen, though a bit slower.

"Is-is that Goku's ki I feel?" the bald man asked, hopefully.

"It definitely feels like it."

Krillin smiled. "Let's go and see it for ourselves!"

"Daddy?'

"Yeah, kiddo?"

"What's a Goku?"

Punching boulders after boulders as they flew at him, Tien began to feel numb. The amount of strain he was putting his body through was starting to show, the irregular breathing and sluggish movements being a strong indicator. Despite feeling tired however, the stubborn triclops continued to burst through the giant rocks…that is until he lost focus when he nearly collapsed. Thankfully, before the rock reached the defeated man, it was suddenly frozen in midair.

Chiaotzu sighed with relief as he released the boulder from his psychokinesis hold, the heavy object making the ground tremble when it crashed onto it.

"Tien, we've been at this for about two hours. I'm exhausted and I'm pretty sure you are too. Don't you think we should get some rest?" his pale friend said, dropping on his bottom at the same time the triclops did. "I mean, your hands are probably sore."

Eying his welted and bloody fists, Tien winced. "I guess you're right." He agreed, biting his lower lip when he attempted to flex his shaky fingers.

This is how the triclops and his pale friend spent their days and well, that is how it's always been, hasn't it? Aiming to become the best he could be is what he lived for and that hasn't changed and it probably never will.

"Woah!" Tien stood up, facing behind him. "What the hell is that incredible power?!"

"It isn't Vegeta, Bra or Gohan right?" Chiaotzu asked, floating back in the air.

The triclop's brows furrowed. "No…I don't think it is. It almost feels like-"

"Goku's!"

Tien's eyes rounded. "It could be, but remember Bra's ki kind of feels like Goku's at times, especially when she uses that Super Saiyan Soul form."

"I don't know Tien, this sort of feels different somehow." Chiaotzu hovered closer to his friend. "Why don't we just go check it out! It could be trouble!"

"Right."

"I was wondering when he was going to reveal himself." A white caped Namekian said.

He hadn't been fooled. Unlike the others, he knew Goku was back on Earth the second he arrived and so did Dende and Mr. Popo. But that's a given since well, the Lookout was always quiet, far from the noisy civilization that would most certainly be a distraction; that and the Z-gang were too immersed in their own world, living their lives in the manner they've dreamed of.

Peacefully.

The younger Namekian laughed. "He only wanted to spend quality time with Bra. They have been apart for seven years you know."

"Are you going to go visit now that the others are aware of his presence?" Asked Mr. Popo, the dark-skinned attendant sprinkling water on his little garden.

"Later," Piccolo replied. "He is, after all, going back to Otherworld by the end of tomorrow."

A sly look appeared on Dende's face as he leaned next to Mr. Popo's ear and whispered. "You think he's shy?"

"Perhaps."

His ears twitching, Piccolo frowned.

Wiping sweat from her forehead, she crouched low, placing a palm down to steady herself before sitting on the ground.

Tilting his head with both hands on his hips, his smile, which had been present since their second bout, dimmed. "Awww that's it?"

"I can't keep up with you Goku. Why don't you ask Dad? I bet he will be more than happy to oblige."

Goku's brow lifted as his hair returned to black. "So you're finished with this 'remaining quiet about me' finally?"

Bra nodded, pushing a strand of hair behind her ear. "Yeah, I'm tired of you." She teasing, making the full Saiyan laugh.

"Now show off for me." Bra demanded, smirking. "That will also get everyone's attention."

"I dunno, the others might have caught on to something by now… "

"I already told you that our ki are fundamentally the same, so if you remain at the same level as mine or lower, they wouldn't put much mind it. However, everyone knows that I'm weakened and that my father is the most strongest. If you do what you did earlier…they will detect that something is off and come here immediately. I'm honestly amazed they didn't notice that wicked burst of ki you release before knocking me out!"

"Saiyan Soul helps keep us undetected, even if we are full power! Think of the Androids for example!"

"Really…huh." Of course, she wouldn't know. She hasn't used the transformation since the whole Bojack incident.

"Yup! I'll have to show you once we find and fix whatever is wrong with you!"

Bra gave him an uneasy grin, not believing such a thing will happen; he was leaving by the end of tomorrow after all.

"Alrighty then!" within a blink of an eye, he transformed into Super Saiyan 2.

Bra smiled. "Definitely stronger than when you were fighting me! You're nearly as powerful as my-"

With a deep grunt, his ki increased further.

"N-never mind…" Bra mumbled, her eyes wide and mouth rounding. "You can compete with father-"

His eyes sharpening, the look he gave the half Saiyan made her paralyze. "That is my full power as a Super Saiyan 2."

"O-oh." She gulped. "So next is Super Saiyan Soul...right?" she added in the end when noticing that Goku didn't respond. In fact, as she eyed him carefully, she saw that he looked like he was contemplating something; it was making the hairs behind her neck stiffen in anticipation.

"No…"

"No?" She echoed.

"Super Saiyan Soul is like a technique, remember? You can only remain using it for so long and then you'd burn yourself out. While it is possible to improve the length of time in use, it just isn't as powerful as a true ascension."

"Goku…are you doing what I think you are going to do?" He's figured out…is that even a thing?! I mean I thought Super Saiyan 2 was the peak transformation, that all Saiyan's can do after is increase their strength in that form by training.

It appeared that he had made up his mind because small rocks and debris started to levitate as he curled his fist into balls.

"You better hold on to something Bra…"

She didn't even get a chance to scoff at him, telling him that she'd do no such thing when a harsh gust of wind slammed into her, throwing her from her sitting position. Using a Kiai to stop herself from flying further, she shielded her eyes as the wild wind pelted tiny pebbles at her face. He warns me yet he doesn't give me time to respond or move.

Then everything stopped.

Dropping her arm down, she became perplexed at what she saw. He's back to normal…why though?

In came the others with the Saiyan Prince leading in the front, his ever-present scowl turning into a grin when seeing the full Saiyan.

"Why did you stop?" Bra asked, her eyes narrowing in suspicion.

He laughed, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly. "Heh, I guess I'm not as strong as I thought!"

I call totally bullshit Bra thought, watching as Yamcha, Tien, Chiaotzu, Krillin, and Eighteen, who was holding Marron, landed. He's hiding something…

Next came Gohan with his mother Chi-Chi in his arms and to Bra's surprise, Videl, who last she remembered, wanted nothing to do with Goku's son. Looks like he patched things up with her. Good for him.

And last was her son, Kibō and brother, Trunks, the latter having their mother Bulma in arms. She failed to suppress a giggle when she saw Trunks thoughtlessly drop their mother on the ground, earning him an ear tug of discipline when she rose back onto her feet.

Her eyes going back to her son, she swore as she just released that she had yet to mention to Goku that he was well…a father! He has a freaking son, one that the both of them created and she hasn't told him shit!

Sneaking away from the crowd of friends that were rushing to the full Saiyan, Bra quietly walked in front of her son. Her heart fell when she saw how nervous he looked, with his hands twiddling together and his blue eyes facing down.

"Hey, I take it you know who that is huh…"

Kibō nodded timidly. "Yeah, Grandma told me…" he muttered, eying his father's carefree expression. "Do you think he'll like me, mom?"

"One-hundred percent sure he'll love the moment he sees you!" Bra said, smiling as she lowered herself to his height and pulled her son in for a hug.

Kibō's lips turned upwards as he returned the gesture wholeheartedly.

Removing from her embrace, her son's face screwed up into worry when he saw that his mother's hair was stark white.

"Mom! Are you okay?! Your hair is all white again!" He said, giving her another hug, this time holding on to her tighter.

Returning the hug, she whispered in his ear. "Mama's okay baby…remember that when I go Super Saiyan, my hair dye starts to fade?"

Bra felt her child's head nod over her shoulder. She knew that her son was constantly concerned for her wellbeing. No one can identify what is wrong with her after all, so the fear of losing her and becoming parentless never left his mind. Yes, he would still have his uncle, his grandma, and grandpa (she stifled a giggle when she thought of Vegeta being a grandparent), along with the other Z-gang, but it just wasn't the same. She herself would understand since she had lost everyone she loved years ago. It was thoughts like these that would bring back the nauseating reminder that everyone present isn't her true family and friends. They were mere duplicates of hers and that made her heartache with grief…and with shame. These people have become just as important as the ones from her reality. They are all her family now and that-that brought peace back in her heart, the optimistic thoughts erasing the darkness that tried to sneak up on her in her moments of weakness.

"Alright, let's go meet your daddy!"

Back with the others, minus Vegeta, Eighteen, Marron and Trunks, of course, the lavender haired boy never having properly met him as he had only been a baby at the time, greeted the Earth raised Saiyan with hugs, making him smile brightly as he had also missed all of them dearly.

Chi-Chi held onto him the longest. Yes, they are merely friends, having fixed their quarrel before the Cell Games, but that love for him will probably never go away it seemed. That love had prevented her from looking for someone else, but up until recently, she finally decided to go back into the game; seeing the full Saiyan again was going to obviously slow down her progress.

"So you're all here huh! Wait, where is Master Roshi and Piccolo?"

"Not sure about Master Roshi, but I bet he knows you're here! You can go see him later if you want! As for Piccolo, he's probably at the Lookout and no doubt knows you're here also." Krillin said.

"So how are you back? Did you somehow escape Otherworld?" Yamcha said jokily.

"Yeah, I mean you do still have your halo," Krillin added.

"Well, long story short, I got a two day off from Otherworld ticket from a tournament I won!" he lied. He wasn't going to dampen their mood by telling them the complete truth.

Gohan's expression fell. "This is a onetime thing huh?"

"Maybe," Goku said with a bittersweet smile while placing a hand on his son's shoulder. "But hey, you never know! I mean I was able to come now!"

"He's right boy. At the very least he's here." Vegeta entered the conversation. "However, even if he could come back another time, he won't when I beat him into a bloody pulp!"

"Hi, Vegeta!" Goku greeted. "Seems like you haven't changed a bit!"

Balling up his fists, the Saiyan Prince transformed into a Super Saiyan. "I beg to differ and I'll prove it right now in a battle!"

"Is that so!?" Goku also transformed, dropping into his fighting stance.

Just as they were about to hurl themselves at each other, the Saiyans froze when Bra walked up to them with Kibō at her side.

"Hey Goku, there is someone that wants to meet you."

Dropping to the ground, the full Saiyan watched as a small child shyly made his way towards him.

Once in front of him, Goku crouched to eye leveled and asked. "And who might you be? Vegeta and Bulma's second kid?"

"Ha! As if I would have another child with that brute! "Bulma said, folding her arms across her chest.

Vegeta growled at her response. He was pretty sure he could change her mind.

Stepping behind the three-fourth Saiyan, Bra decided to introduce their son.

"Goku, I'd like you to meet your son, Kibō." She said, her eyes beaming brightly.

The gang observed with amusement written on their faces as Goku did a double-take, his eyes rounding to the size of dinner plates. "We…have a son…?"

Bra's aqua orbs curved, her tail falling from her waist and wiggling in delight.

"But…how?"

Her face turned sour. "Goku…"

Goku waved his hands in defense, quickly clarifying. "I mean I know-how…just how could it have happened if I was dead-"

Bra's lips thinned.

"Oh…OH!" Goku exclaimed, his brain finally catching on.

Looking at his son again, to his horror, he became witness to his boy's watery eyes, glistening with devastation as Kibō believed that his father had rejected him considering his reaction.

This angered Bra even further.

Hurriedly enveloping his son in a tight yet loving hug, his son sniffled, his small body relaxing and returning the gesture.

"Daddy…" Kibō whimpered, his watery tears turning to that of happiness now.

"There…there son…"Goku murmured. "Sorry for the way I reacted. It was just a surprise to know that I had another son and-"

Standing tall, Kibō's arms still adorably locked around his father, Goku's jaw dropped, his eyes going wide. "Bra! Why didn't you mention that I had another son as soon as I got here this morning!?"

"Wait, you've been here since all morning!" Krillin said, stunned that he hadn't sensed his friend's ki.

"Yeah, and I would have gone to see ya'll but she wanted-" he trailed off, his cheeks turning a deep pink.

As always, Bra rolled her eyes at her Soulmate's prude attitude when sex was involved in from of others. "Sheesh! I just wanted some alone time with him!"

The Saiyan Princess sighed at everyone's reaction as they put two and two.

"It was freaking too early to gather all of you anyway!" She continued, turning back to the full Saiyan. "I was planning to tell you later, so don't go on thinking that you weren't gonna get the chance to meet him! I wouldn't do that to my Kibō! He has desperately wanted to see you too!"

"Okay, Okay! Calm down!" Goku said slowly, trying to pry his son from his person but to no avail. After a few more attempts, he gave up for the time being.

Seeing a familiar lavender haired half Saiyan, he grinned. "Nice to see you all grown Trunks!" he said, giving him a friendly wave.

"Uhhh thanks?" Trunks didn't know what to say really. He has heard great things from his mother from the guy, but when he asked his father if what his mom said was true, he'd insult him, calling him an 'imbecile' and a 'third-class clown deserving no respect at all'. He'd go on to say at times that his sister has poor taste in men, whatever that means, and that he's much more powerful than he was. I guess Kibō's dad is supposed to be some kind of loser.

Seeing that Goku was still waving at him frantically like an idiot, he came to the conclusion that his father was right.

Facing his long time best friend, Krillin, he was dumbfounded when he saw Eighteen with a child held against her hip.

Looking back and further between the couple, before he could ask the question they knew he was gonna ask, Krillin answered it. "Despite being called an Android, she's truly a Cyborg, a human with robotic implants."

"Drop it Goku, leave it at that." He quickly added, seeing that his friend was going to interrogate them more.

"Y-yeah…ok."

Just then a green-blue woman with orange hair fell from the sky, landing beside Yamcha.

"Bra, we are using your house," Zangya said matter of factly, looping her arm around one of Yamcha's, proceeding to drag his protesting ass to the half Saiyan's home.

"What are you do-"

"Use the spare room!" Bra shouted, Zangya giving her the thumbs-up as she booted poor Yamcha inside the house. She would have slammed the door shut, but there wasn't one, as the Saiyan Princess had wrecked it this morning.

Either nobody else seemed to notice or just didn't bother paying attention as the gang began to ask the full Saiyan questions of his experiences in Otherworld.

When the subject went back to the tournaments he competed in, Gohan decided that this was the best time to bring up the one that was taking place tomorrow.

"Hey guys, while Videl and I were in school, we were asked to go to the auditorium for an announcement! The announcement was that the World Martial Arts Tournament is gonna be held tomorrow afternoon!"

Goku's eyes lit up like Christmas trees. "Awww this is great!"

"World Martial Arts Tournament?" Krillin echoed, surprise evident on his features. "We haven't had one of those in a while…" He didn't want to mention the one that took place four years ago and nor did the others, at least when Gohan was present. The subject of a certain space pirate was a sore spot for the half Saiyan, a mood dampener, a reminder of what would have happened if Bra hadn't put a stop to his rampage.

"Yeah, I heard it on the news not long ago. And honestly, its short notice. Usually, these things are announced weeks before it starts, to give the contestants' time to train and whatnot." Bulma said

"He's calling it 'The Spur of the Moment Tournament.'" Videl mocked, using her fingers as quotation marks.

Everyone was much to engross with the conversation of the tournament to witness Bra turn white where she stood. Her aqua eyes glossed over, her mind drifting off elsewhere as memories and images slowly started to manifest before her very eyes.

(PAST)

"'The Spur of the Moment Tournament' is what's he's calling it." Said a Saiyan that was obviously Goku's son, the only thing was that it wasn't Gohan and most definitely wasn't Kibō.

"That's what he's calling it? Seems like an excuse to have the upper hand in the competition." Krillin said.

"Duh, my father will do anything to ensure his victory," Videl said, rolling her eyes.

(PRESENT)

"Both Trunks and Kibō should enter the Tournament!" Bulma said. "It'd be nice for them to compete in one for the experience alone. They will probably face each other at some point."

Kibō, who had finally been peeled off his father, eyed Trunks challengingly; the lavender haired half Saiyan returned the look.

"Krillin, more money never hurt." Eighteen said

"I don't know, with Goku entering it too, I doubt we'll win." He replied, uncertainly. Turning to the Saiyan Prince he asked. "You're gonna enter too right?"

Vegeta smirked. "Well since Kakarot is entering, so will I. I won't miss the chance to humiliate the clown in the middle of the ring."

Krillin gulped. "Aw man…"

"Don't worry buddy, if I win, I'll give you all the Zeni! It's not like I could use it in Otherworld after all!"

Krillin was gonna thank his friend for his generosity, but Eighteen glared at him, silently calling him a coward.

Bra's feet began to feel light as a feather, the dread traveling up her spine threatening to swallow her whole. Memories and memories of Bra's reality continued to come, slamming into her over and over again like a tidal wave would against a shore. She was succumbing to the haunting darkness of her past life and her friends were completely oblivious to it.

(PAST/PRESENT)

Leaning against a tree, Zangya told Krillin to enter the tournament for financial reasons, which mirrored Krillin and Eighteen's situation in this reality.

Goten, who didn't exist in this reality, was eager to face his brother Gohan in the tournament mirrored Trunks and Kibō's situation.

Chi-Chi, in her reality, adamantly refused to let her sons fight in the tournament, wanting them to focus on their jobs and schooling…that was until they mentioned that the winner earns tons of Zeni. In this reality, Chi-Chi had no problem letting Gohan jump in the ring. As long as he kept up on his studies, she was absolutely fine with it; they didn't need the money after all because unlike the one of her timeline, she returned to her father's castle, where she was rich.

Both versions of Chi-Chi wanted to build their own lives, ones not tied to their fathers, make their own income but because of her interference, everything changed and seemed to be heading into shit. After Bojack, she slowly started to believe that things might be better as time passes, even with Goku gone. But then this…disease, if one could call it that, happened and doubt began to settle in again. It all started going downhill from there; sicker and sicker she became.

Then Goku came back and some hope returned. Goku said he believed that there was some way that she could be saved and hell some part of her actually believed him. His time in the living was over, as he would only be here until the end of tomorrow, but saving her would give her a chance to live her life longer; she didn't want to leave Kibō after all, not yet. That shit with King Yema erasing him from existence when he returned was nonsense. King Kai will fight for him, so Goku WILL be there when she joins him in Otherworld.

Watching her family and friends as they interacted animatedly, she just soaked in the eerie similarities of her own previous life. Everything that she's hearing from her friends' and families' mouths so far nearly mirrors what happened in her reality, except that the things they verbalized were either paraphrased or said by different members of the group.

She found this very strange, very frightening because the similarities between her reality and this one diverged on the day she time hopped to this one, which so happened to be the same day that Frieza came to Earth to get revenge on Goku for his defeat. She was certain of this because she had asked Goku, when he was alive of course, to tell her the story of his childhood and his adult life so far so that she could compare it with the ones of the Goku from her time; from the epic showdown with her father to the humiliating rumble with the Ginyu Force and lastly the brutal fight with Frieza, they all matched up perfectly.

Thinking back on it, she decided to further compare the differences of her timeline to this one I can't believe I never did this before…

The first difference she witnessed was that another time traveler had arrived here on the day she did. Three years later, she finds out that the time traveler was her brother, the same little Trunks that is here right now, only older and haunted because two killer Androids had taken over his reality and filled it with terror. Trunks came here to warn the gang about the Androids so they can prepare themselves for the battle. She came here to make a new life for herself because her old one no longer existed.

On the side note, this situation with Trunks was odd because he was born when she was supposed to be born in his timeline. On top of that, he was born here at the same time also, leaving her birth out again. Either she was never meant to exist in either reality or she is going to be conceived at a later date…well only here since her father is probably going to stay dead in the older Trunk's reality. She actually had this discussion with her mother not long after he left and her mother wanted to run a test on her blood to compare it to older Trunk's. When she did, the results were not what they expected. Yes, she was the female version of her brother and her brother was the male version of her; one can say they are basically twins…fraternal…but not really. The way their DNA is designed, they don't each have fifty-percent of the same DNA, they each have. Sure you can have zero to one-hundred percent of the DNA of your sibling, but this…this is too perfect. In fact, they are such a perfect match, that no one on this Earth has their type of DNA structure (her mother wanted to break it down to her, but Bra didn't care enough to listen). Other than different-sex types and personalities (duh), they are exactly the same person.

Moving on, the second difference was that the Androids never made an appearance in her timeline while they did here; instead, Bojack did (before that Frieza's brother, Cooler, but she wasn't born yet).

Inevitably, the Bojack events went down differently. First, He had a third transformation here while he only had two in hers. Second, Kogu had a sword… Tapion's sword, which actually has a name here, Alastor. She knew who Tapion was and his story, but it was completely different here. She knew this because Yamcha had told her the long story of Tapion and boy, it was crazy. Needlessly to say, given his version of the story, the monstrous Hirudegarn was no more; his threat will never be a problem here.

After Bojack and Hirudegarn was the fight with the Legendary Super Saiyan, Broly. That whole thing was off-planet and once that was taken care of, they have nothing but peace until she was the age of 14, when Broly's revealed that he was still alive by coming to Earth.

Then Janemba…he was something else…but through surprising teamwork, her father and Goku, using their full power, obliterated him into atoms.

And finally came Majin Buu…the one that stopped their winning streak…the one that ended it all.

Suddenly her racing through came to a screeching halt as her mind drifted back to Bojack.

She had seen something strange on their fight that day and she still couldn't explain it; the whole split in the sky thing…

Wait…could-

The Saiyan-Hera and the space pirate threw their fists forwards at once, the impact of the blow to the sides of their cheeks causing a sickening crunching and slapping noise to echo throughout the air. Breaking away from one another, they fell into the pattern of sky ripping merciless attacks, creating thunderous and deafening shocks that actually caused ripples to form in the sky. One particular ripple made an odd ghost of an image, an image of a head with familiar menacing red eyes that was flooded within a deep black abyss.

What the hell? Is that-?

"Pay attention!"

Be the same as-

(PAST)

Resting on the grass with her black and red training gi on, a 15-year-old Bra listened to Gohan's story intensively. It was the story of the battle with Bojack and man did he have a really vivid imagination. He described everything with such detail, she often wondered why he wasn't a writer instead of a boring professor at school. She loves reading books so she would definitely read the books he writes if they are as awesome as the stories he tells of his childhood adventures.

"And then what happened?"

"I killed him with one punch to the stomach."

"Whoa. That's some, like, crazy shit!"

Gohan winced at Bra's dirty mouth.

Pausing to enjoy the scenery of the setting sun, a thought crossed his mind, so he decided to voice it.

"You wanna know something weird?" Bra nodded.

"While I was fighting Broly that day, there was a moment when we were in the air that some weird ripple tore the sky open.

She had been dozing off but woke up immediately after she heard what he just said.

"Did you see anything inside it?"

Gohan pursed his lips together, looking a bit uneasy. "I did. It was a ghost-like image, projecting from the split. It had…no, I just saw deep red eyes. I only saw it for a second because Bojack had taken advantage of my distraction and had clobbered me."

"Oh…" her head tilted curiously as she eyed Gohan's face. He looked very concerned. "Did you tell anyone?"

"I did, but they all dismissed it, saying that I'm overacting. That they would take care of whatever it is when they come."

"You think you might have just hallucinated it?"

"No," he said much too quickly. "Whatever I saw, whatever I felt was real. It felt so evil…"

The young teen's eyes widen when Gohan's eyes started to shake. "Pure evil."

(PRESENT)

No…

She was now trembling like a leaf, her panicked filled orbs refusing to believe that stupid thing she saw while fused with Zangya meant something. She contemplated it a couple of nights after their fight but figured it meant nothing and threw it aside, deciding to concentrate on trying to comfort Gohan and his Videl dilemma. Now that she recalls what her Gohan told her, she realized that his portrayal matches with what she saw during her battle with Bojack.

It…it truly was a warning...and what's worse is that he informed everyone and they didn't believe him, I didn't believe him, because all of us were too confident in our ability to win. We underestimated the threat and look what transpired; the death of everyone, the planet and most likely the entire universe right after I 'ran' to safety.

As if to further confirm that what she had feared most was going to soon come to fruition, what she heard next, line for line, she had heard in her reality…same two Saiyans using the same tone. In fact, she quietly mimicked what both of them were going to say before they said it.

"Kakarot, the tournament fight will just be a warm-up. We will have our true battle where our rivalry started years ago. There, we will use our full power! I will prove once and for all who the strongest Saiyan is!" Vegeta said with a grin, tightening one of his fists with excitement.

"I wouldn't have it any other way, Vegeta!" Goku said, giving the Saiyan Prince a thumbs up. "This will be a battle that will go down in history!"

Yoohoo…Braaa…

Bra's skin crawled.

A/N: Usually stories get written themselves as you write, ideas just pop out. That has not been the cast with this saga. I've had most of this shelved for a while, which is why I had been able to post these two chapters.

Currently, nothing has been written for the next chapter, but hopefully, that'll change soon.

Oh, and all that shit about the Trunk/Bra DNA? Absolute nonsense, so don't take it seriously. I just said fuck it and went with it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

For those around, thanks for sticking with me.
